Neil Simon’s Plaza Suite is a witty and heartfelt comedy in three acts, each set in the same luxurious hotel suite, where three different couples face life’s unexpected twists. A long-married couple attempts to rekindle their romance but finds themselves at odds with time and each other. A fast-talking Hollywood producer tries to lure his old flame into an affair, blurring nostalgia with reality. And on a chaotic wedding day, frantic parents do everything they can to coax their panicked bride out of the bathroom. Filled with Simon’s sharp humor and keen observations on love and marriage, Plaza Suite is a delightful exploration of relationships in all their messy, marvelous glory.

What is the history of Hillbarn Theatre ?
The Board of Directors works strategically with the staff to ensure Hillbarn Theatre is the best that it can possibly be. This has been accomplished under the capable leadership of the current chair, Lisa WolfKlain, the former chair, Paul Regan, Gary Harris, and several others in the past. Hillbarn is the sixth oldest continuously operating amateur theater company in the nation and is the oldest company in San Mateo County. Since 1995, Hillbarn has won a Theater Critics Circle Award, was accepted at the Edinburgh Theatre Festival, was honored with several mayoral proclamations for excellence in theatrical production and education, three Dean Goodman Awards for Artistic Excellence, and a Foster City Honors Award for the Executive Director in 2003. In an interview, former Artistic Director Scott Williams said: “Hillbarn is an idea. Hillbarn began as a vision of Bob and Sam, essentially, and it has stayed coalesced around their vision. People who came here understood they had the vision, and it was an extraordinary one…They created a good feeling, a great viable organization, and they had a marvelous ability to bring people into the process.” Hillbarn is more than just a place, it’s a community that will remain forever a legacy to their memories and a benefit to the cultural life of not only the citizens of Foster City, but all who share in its community ideals.
